I haven't but that sounds neat! Seems more like a direct competitor to the Rode Streamer X.

It's definitely an I'm-port-ant detail 👍

@@tombuck 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Honestly, they're all pretty great. I think Lewitt does the best overall job with auto-gain and clipguard, but the others are good too. I think it honestly comes down to which one suits your budget best, and if you prefer one design over the other. You can't go wrong!

I waited so long to peel those

Yeah, the featureset is terrific, but the price is definitely on the higher end compared to competition. I love the Vocasters, but find the software pretty lacking.

It's definitely a market that's starting to be oversaturated. I'm really glad though that there are a lot of options out there now that don't require extra boosters!

@@tombuck same. I’m glad boosters will be a thing of the past, any day now

I'm glad that you're doing what you can to make it work with what you've got! I remember trying to set things up in an apartment where I could hear the neighbors next door sneeze and my downstairs neighbors counted how many times the toilet flushed each day 🙃

@@tombuck haha we hate thin walls. 🤣🤣 Especially the private. 🤣

I ended up not even covering the full breadth of auto setup, but it is super helpful!

Haven't tried that one!

The AI-1 had some pretty awesome firmware updates recently so it’s quite awesome. I would say the Lewitt is definitely a bit more modern and advanced though, with better preamps.

@@tombuck thanks!

It might be different with an “active” hub that has its own power supply, but I’m not sure.

I'm definitely interested in both!

It is kind of strange that the Control Center software is a little different for each one.

I waited two months! And the Scarlett had it on for like 3 years 😅

I wish the whole interface was Connect 4 based 😅 And I’ve been using a regular aspect ratio for a bit now just to fit a little more in the frame. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Has yours been doing that?! Mine worked ok through the hub for listening to audio, but started doing the on/off thing when a mic is connected. Work fine with a mic when connected directly to the computer though, thankfully.

@@tombuck I don't have one but a friend of mine. It was doing that yes but after a very scientific issue isolation process... i.e. randomly changing XLR, audio and usb cables, it stopped. Just asked my friend if had the issue again and apparently not... or eventually once. So although all those cables where in use and functioning, we basically just replaced the device, it seems fair to say that it was one of those 'phantomatic' most probably cable related issue 🤷🏻‍♂ But the little time I played with it on that day, I have to say that the size, all the cables at the back and the usability I do like...

Wow, thanks!

@@tombuck it’s true, you’re content has helped me find my way through audio gear the last few years. I’m a tech nerd but no audio experience to speak of. The fact that you were an educator makes your content different. There is a structure and strategy to your videos that is unique. We get empathy, humility, expertise and pragmatism every Thursday.

Thanks for helping! 😁

@@tombuck Hey good morning. Would this be compatible with iRig Stream Mic usb condenser mic?

Phone batteries are much larger than the ones in these and last much longer. Although, I do wish they were replaceable. But this is an A/V channel not a phone channel.

Even though I wouldn't call my self a pro, I've been using the Sennheiser IE 100 Pros for a couple of years now and really like them.

Just wanted to use a 50mm 😅

Indeed it is! Celebrated 4 years last week!

@@tombuck Congratulations. Ok, I will withdraw the flirt and just compliment that you have a very likable personality in your informative videos. 🙂👍

Ayo 🤨😂😂😂

Haha, I was referring to the sample rate/frequency 😁

That’s a good one!

Thank you!

For me, a good p[lace to start with the SM7B is usually boosting a bit of the highs, lowering the mids a touch, and then adding compression.

Definitely minimal!

@@tombuck Yep, That’s what it is for. =)

I think support for two mics would have more universal than mic + instrument. Especially as it's rather more expensive than the competition. The design is attractive and practical. Though maybe headphones to the front would suit some better. What o/s does the software support?

I don’t known if it’s still supported, it the official Boosted one.

The Scarlett is great! The 3rd gen doesn’t have as much gain, so you likely just need a booster and you’ll be good to go. The Klark Teknik CT1 is the most affordable one I know of and works quite well. It’ll add a lot more gain to the 58 and make things much easier to work with.

Oh my gosh this is awesome! I’m so happy for you! I hope your high school experience was a great one, even with the craziness of the pandemic. I wish we could’ve had the full “Impact experience” without it being cut a bit short. I think I’ll always be a bit bummed about that. Either way, thank you for checking thinking of me and keeping me updated, and all the best as you step into this next chapter!

@@tombuck Of course Mr. Buck, you were and have always been my favorite teacher and I never forgot about you.

I just did an updated video all about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX7Kp52qpZtsiaMsi=U1Jk1v6GyTeT74rM

I don't think there's a way to turn the lights off. I cna say that I've used it with the Elgato Prompter with no light issues (I can see it through the screen a little bit but that's no big deal and no one else knows.

That's a really good question! I honestly have no idea, but I'd guess it has something to do with the sense of scale? It's almost like big objects in real life are always fully in focus and super clear, but tiny objects can be seen with a shallow depth of field, where not everything is in focus all the time. Tilt shift makes it possible to give that same shallow depth of field to larg objects which maybe makes our brains have that "it's a miniature!" moment.
